Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Augusta, MI.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Augusta patients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and likely given certain prescription drugs which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility can ensure their safety.

There is not an exact process for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need intensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who should to take part in an actual substance abuse rehabilitation center once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
